MIAMI, Dec. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FHOOSH, the first company to pair high-speed data transmission with ultra-secure cybersecurity, recently secured a $2 million investment from Volta Global, a private investment group active in transformational venture capital, as part of FHOOSH's recent oversubscribed financing.

FHOOSH's unique software platform helps corporations, institutions and governments protect and power valuable stored digital information at certified speeds up to eight times faster than storing data unencrypted, and up to 15 times faster than today's competing encryption solutions. As a drop-in software solution, FHOOSH is also highly flexible and adaptable to work with any organization's existing architecture. With FHOOSH, organizations no longer compromise data security for speed. The company, founded in late 2012, has applied clean slate design thinking to build a high performance cybersecurity platform from architecture to implementation that speeds and protects data from the edge to the cloud, and is protected by a very strong and robust IP portfolio.

Eric Tobias, FHOOSH co-founder and CEO, says, "The partnership and additional pre-Series A capital investment from Volta Global enables us to accelerate products to market. Our highly creative and focused team is highly energized as we are consistently hearing that no other company is pairing high speed data transmission with advanced security, especially to move data into and out of public, private and hybrid clouds. Linda Eigner co-founder & President of FHOOSH, adds, "We're very fortunate to partner with Volta Global, visionaries with worldwide experience, who focus on long-term success and building businesses the right way."

FHOOSH has developed a novel, proprietary solution to enable enhanced safety, security, and speed, all at once."

FHOOSH plans to use the funds to fuel growth by bringing on additional engineers and others to deliver on its promise: "Faster Data, More Secure."
